"The house was built by Edward Austen, an East coast businessman, who began his business
career in Baltimore. Twelve years prior to his death in 1893, Mr. Austen returned to
Baltimore County from the New York area to become a dairy farmer. Austen's 2,000-
acre "Filston Farm" was one of [the] largest dairy farms in the state. It was noted for its fine herd (200 head) of Jersey cattle. The house was [later] used in World War II by the OSS, the forerunner of the CIA, that carried out training classes and field missions at Filston and at the nearby Gilbert house called Hillside."
